Weekend Events

Grand Opening Showcase & Reception

Friday 16 February | 5:30pm or 7:30pm showcase | $40.00*

The Grand Opening event of the Centennial weekend
features a Villa showcase, where guests will be treated to a
celebration that encompasses music and drama, with a touch
of nostalgia. A catered Reception will follow, hosted in the College
courtyard offering guests a chance to reconnect with old friends
and enjoy the sounds of our very own Jazz band.
There will be two sessions of the Showcase Opening Ceremony,
one early evening, and one later, to allow for anticipated high
demand for tickets.

Villa's Great Day Out!

Saturday 17 February | 10:00am - 2:00pm

The College Parents' Association (PTA) and the Past Pupils' Association (PPA) are joining forces to create a Great Day Out for all ages. A carnival will be the centrepiece of the day, with food trucks, games, entertainment, swimming and spaces for Villa girls both young and old to gather and share memories together.

Don't miss the beautiful Exhibition, presenting the treasured photos and artefacts from the Villa archives. This is a visual trip down memory lane, and will show the Villa journey over the past 100 years.

Join us for a Devonshire Tea, see your old teachers and classmates, enjoy a guided tour of the College, and be a part of history by having your class photo taken at the Centennial!

Villa's Great Day Out will be a wonderful party for the whole Villa community!
